Haven't made many of these cuz honestly I've been doing really well. BUT I did have a few migraines relatively close together. One of them being the elusive aura type. I've been wanting to describe what they feel like for a while but it had been more than a year since the last one so my memory was a bit fuzzy... walp now I got a refresher and I can talk about it properly. :P
---My first aura story---
In 2017 I was video chatting with my then-boyfriend. It was a really long, fun call and at some point I thought it'd be fun to hang upside down and see how long I could go before I got too uncomfortable. About an hour passed before I started to feel pretty weird, got up, and.... continued to feel weird... vision got blurry, started seeing these black and white zigzags. I tried to research if prolonged inverted dangling is bad for you (spoilers; it is :P), but I had to crank up the font size to about 36pt (10pt is common for most paperbacks and 12pt is the size your teachers made you do papers at). At 36pt I was reading one word at a time on my phone and it was still kinda blurry. Then I went fully blind, seeing a constantly warping kaleidoscope of colors, my arm felt numb and brain felt like it was swimming through muck.
Whole time was still on the call, describing it to my poor boyfriend. After I regained my vision, I started having a more "normal", teeth-knocking-7-hour migraine. Ever since that night, I get them once or twice a year. Never as bad as this one tho. The blind phase only lasts 2-10min and the after-migraine last 2 hours. The one I described in the comic is far more common, far shorter than this monster.
Seems like I may have given myself an amount of brain damage and/or spontaneous reconstruction. 0/5 stars, do not recommend, protek ur brain case frends. :P
